UT Tyler New Patriot Orientation

Transfer Students

Students transferring from another institution of higher education and re-entering college have different needs and concerns from first-time college students. UT Tyler has created an orientation program specifically for transfer students and re-entering students to prepare them for life as a Patriot.

When is New Patriot Orientation for transfer students?

Spring Transfer Orientation is now complete.

Will I be getting anything in the mail?

All transfer students who have been officially accepted to UT Tyler will receive a postcard and email inviting them to register for New Patriot Orientation.

May I bring family members or other guests with me to New Patriot Orientation?

Advising is not a part of the orientation program. We encourage you to set up an appointment with your academic advisor prior to orientation. During your advising session, you will receive information about academic requirements and obtain clearance to register for courses.

• Transfers with less than 30 credit hours can schedule their advising through the Academic Advising Center • Transfers with 30-60 hours may contact Kristie Allen at 903.565.5785 • Transfers with more than 60 credit hours may find their advisor's contact information here.

Is New Patriot Orientation mandatory?

What will I do at New Patriot Orientation?

New Patriot Orientation will provide you with an opportunity to learn about the services and resources available at UT Tyler, meet your department advisors, tour the campus, and complete university business such as getting a parking pass and student id.

If you have further questions or concerns contact the Office of Student Life and Leadership at 903.565.5645.
